A spokesman for the Senegalese Army says its troops have entered the Gambia, where the long-time leader, Yahya Jammeh, is refusing to give up power. The new president, Adama Barrow, has been sworn in at the Gambian Embassy in Senegal. His inauguration sparked scenes of celebration in the Gambian capital, Banjul. The U.N. Security Council has unanimously backed the West African regional group, ECOWAS, which has threatened military intervention to force Mr. Jammeh out.

美国国防部部长卡特(Ashton Carter)表示,其在叙利亚发动的针对IS展示的空袭行动已致80名圣战者死亡。周三的长射程空袭由美军轰炸机完成,目标是某沙漠地区的2个IS军营,该沙漠地区位于海安城市苏尔特的西南部。

德黑兰市长表示,目前已知的已有20多明伊朗消防员死亡,原因是其在扑救一场大火时,某17层的高楼陷落并砸向他们。这17层的高楼就是普拉斯科大楼,其塌陷已在电视上进行了实况转播。

救援人员称其始终没有放弃寻找雪崩中幸存者的希望,据称此次雪崩导致意大利中部一家旅馆的陷落。目前至少有3人死亡,另有近30人下落不明。继周三该地区受到一系列地震的冲击后,格兰萨索山(Gran Sasso mountain)上的这家旅馆也受到了波及。

巴西总统已授权巴西军队前往巴西北部城市Natal(纳塔尔),以阻止巴西最大监狱发生的枪支暴力泛滥,无论是否会发生进一步骚乱。自埃尔卡库斯(Alcazuz)监狱本周末发生暴乱导致26名囚犯死亡后,警方已对该监狱失去控制。据称,目前纳塔尔已有20多辆车遭到囚犯投射的汽油弹的放燃。

在就特朗普财长人选史蒂文(Steven Mnuchin)牟取暴利、涉嫌避税等指控而举行的审议听证会上,史蒂文始终为自己进行辩护。史蒂文的第一西部银行(OneWest Bank)涉嫌在金融危机发生后,取消上万名户主的赎买权,而该银行的这种政策一直被评论家每每谈及华尔街贪婪现象时首当其冲的例子,而华尔街贪婪却是特朗普一直厉声反对的。
